SID: Microvision Demonstrates Laser Picoprojector
The palm-size picoprojector outputs 15 lm while maintaining a compact, low-profile form factor, similar to the company’s WVGA (wide-video graphics array) product. A commercial product version of the 720p HD (high definition) PicoP display engine is planned for the second half of 2011.

The new, higher-brightness prototype highlights the capability of PicoP technology to support new performance levels while still maintaining the...]]>
